In awe at Loch Awe ...
The ultrasonic test train has been touring the highlands for the last two days and we managed to miss it on the Mallaig branch as he left 72 minutes early as we were still having tea, a rookie mistake!
I wasn't going to be caught out on the Oban branch, I went down three hours ahead of scheduled departure, had a chat with the crew and made sure I got to this location in plenty of time. In fact I sat here in this beautiful spot for over two hours with all kinds of potential issues: rain, a lot of cloud, mountains disappearing at the rear, wind and paddleboarders breaking the reflection and the train ending up being late ...
It all came good in the end with seconds to spare on the sun front, the tiniest gap allowing this great scene of a Large logo 37 back in the heart of the highlands, 37610 heading the 1630 Oban to Mossend Down Yard Ultrasonic test train, 37219 on the rear at Orchy viaduct.
